Now that summer is approaching, it is the best time to get a navel piercing. It is best to heal the piercing before going out into the sun.
With summer right around the corner, the latest trends to help you shine include belly button rings. Whether you’re going to the beach or just enjoy showing off your midriff, they can be a great complement to a great body. You’ve worked hard to look good, so it might be time to get the piercing you’ve been hoping for. You may not know it, but it’s actually a really good idea to get your piercing done well before summer rolls around. You must give it plenty of time to heal before exposing it to ocean or pool water. Bacteria can enter and create a harmful infection. If you wait until summer to get your piercing, you may want to sit out for the first few weeks while you wait for things to heal.
Another thing to keep in mind with belly button rings is how easy they can be to snag on clothing. You should avoid buying dangling jewelry as it has the greatest potential to snag when you least expect it. You should start with a simple earring and work your way up to other belly button rings as your piercing heals and you begin to feel more comfortable. You should also avoid wearing tight clothing while things are still healing. This can also cause you to sweat, which will irritate the healing wound and could lead to an infection.
Signs of an infection include redness, swelling, and drainage of pus. Sometimes these symptoms can also indicate that your body is rejecting the piercing. If you experience these symptoms and they seem to be getting worse, don’t hesitate to contact your doctor. They can usually help you clear things up in a few days. If things become particularly painful or look bad, you may want to consider having your piercing removed until you get medical attention.
